The location of the Penitentiary in
Baldwin county adds largely to the in
terests of the state centered in Mil-
kdgeville. The old capital has always
been true to every trust.
This week is set apart throughout
the world for special prayer for tlie^suc
cess of the work of the Y. M. C. A.
The association in this city will unite
most heartily in this universal appeal
tor Divine aid.
The Georgia State Sanitarium Com
mittee of the Legislature will visit
that institution next Thursday. Hon.
John T. Allen is chairman of the
House committee, and Hon. Wm. B.
Rawlings the Senate committee. >
Mayor Horne was quite enthusiastic
and energetic in bis efforts to get the
Prison farm located in this county,
and when his efforts were crowned with
’uccess, he was the happiest man in
Georgia.
Policeman Terry has a French
loin, which was found at the bottom of
the Oconee River. He bought it from
» negro, who while diving, brought it
up in a handful of sand. The coin
was made in 1853, during the reign
Napoleon III.
The site for the future great state
prison has been located in Baldwin and
the authorities are given five years for
its permanent establishment. On ac
count of the present depressed condi
tion of state finances it is probable that
nothin^ beyond putting the convict
form in operation will be done during
the next year. It is stated that the
prison commission secured an option on
2000 acres, including water power, ad-
joining. It would be well, looking to
the future, for the commission to close
the trade at once, and provide ample
space for the employment of a large
number of convicts, and also for a re-
’urmatory for youthful convicts.
of
The Prison Farm has been located
in Baldwin county.
This was the decision of the Com
missioners last Thursday evening, after
having spent the entire day inspecting
the land offered by this county.
The decision was heard with pleas
ure by the citizens of this county, and
will no doubt give entire satisfaction
to the people of the State. There is
no question but that the Commission
ers have acted for the best interest of
the State.
There were several places offering
inducements for the location of the
(arm, and the Commissioners have
been considering the bids for several
weeks, and it was generally understood
that a decision would be reached last
Tuesday, and our citizens determined
to make a united effort to get the farm.
A CITIZENS MEETING.
A meeting was called at the Court
house at 9 o’clock. Mr. Adolph Jo
seph was called to the chair and Mr.
J. A.* Horne was elected Secretary.
Stirring speeches were made by Messrs.
Joseph, Horne and Cline.
On motion, of Mayor Horne, it was
decided that our citizens contribute
15,000.00 for the location of the farm
here. Mayor Horne, Hon. John T
Allen and Mr. Samuel Evans were ap
pointed a committee to appear before
the Commissioners, and give them full
information of the action ot the meet
ing, and present the advantages of this
county. The offer was telegraphed
to the Commissioners, and they were
asked to reserve; their decision until the
arrival o r the committee.
The committee left this city Wed
nesday morning and went to Atlanta,
and presented in a clear and forceful
way the offer and the advantages of this
county. The Commissioners were so
impressed that they expressed a will-
ingness to return with the committee,
and in a body inspect the land. They
reached lieje Wednesday night on the
Central train, and went to the Mill
edgeville hotel, where a warm supper
awaited them. They were welcomed
by a number of prominent citizens.
INSPECTION OF TIIE LAND.
The Commissioners, Hon. J. S.
Turner, Gen. C. A. Evans and Hon.
Tom Eason, accompanied by Mayor
Horne, Messrs. Terry Treanor, H. E.
McComb and T. F. Newell, Jr., left
this city early Thursday morning, on
horse-back, to inspect the following
lands: Capt. T. F. Newell’s planta
tion, the lands of Messrs. H. E. Hen
drix, T. L. McComb, N W. L. Bethune,
the Sandy Gannoway and the Justice
place. This body of land comprises
about 3,300 acres. The entire morn
ing was spent on this trip, and they
Upturned to this city about half-past one
o’clock. After dinner the Commis
sioners visited the Georgia State San
itarium. and held a consultation with
Dr. T. O. Powell, Mr. L. J. Lamar
and other officers, as to the amount of
provisions, etc., used at the institution.
-■ The Commissioners held a meeting
at the hotel on their return to the city,
and decided to locate the farm, but did
not make their decision known, until
with a number of citizens they had
"athered at a “Possum Supper
When the announcement was made by
Chairman Turner it was received with
acclamations of great pleasure.
The Commissioners returned to At*
lanta Friday morning.
The Commission has made a good
trade for the State in the selection of ,a
farm for the infirm, juvenile and wo
men convicts. After a careful and la
borious search the men, in whom tins
important trust has been reposed, Have
duces the cost to $20,500. Besides
the above land the State holds an
option on 2,000 acres of adjoining
land, and a waterpower on the Oca-
nee river. In the purchase of this
land the State lias acquired all that is
necessary and desirable for the build-
ing of the great State prison in con-
templation, and which is expected to
he completed by the expiration ot the
five years lease of the able-bodied con
victs now provided for by law.
The location of the penitentiary here
may or not lie a boon to our city, but
it is certain that the Commissioners
have shown good jadgment in the se
lection of the site, for the contemplated
reform in fhe penitentiary system, and
for the final gathering of all the con
victs in one great prison, where suita
ble employment may be given them.
The legislature appropriated $50,-
000 for the purchase of a farm and
the establishment of the female, the
young and old convicts on it. After
paying for this farm the Commission
will have about $30,000 to erect build
ings and move these convicts. Stock
ades and barns must be built imme
diately to get ready for next year’s
farming.
The control of labor is set down as
the first element of successful farming.
On this score there need be no excuse.
Perhaps the penitentiary farm may
prove a model of success.
The removal ol convicts will begin
next spring when the present lease ex
pires. There are about 2,800 con
victs in the penitentiary, all told, and
of these it is estimated there will be
300 for the farm.

Will make liberal cash advances on

I make this cut on account of the
